On Lacking Principles

Greetings, bonjoour, what’s happening. This is the penultimate episode / blog in this series where I’ve been getting stuck into the Meditations book, and writing bits based off quotes from each of the 12 books. 'Just as those who try to block your progress along the straight path of reason will not be able to divert you from principled action, so you must not let them knock you out of your good will towards them. Rather you should watch yourself equally on both fronts, keeping not only a stability of judgement and action but also a mild response to those who try to stop you or are otherwise disaffected. To be angry with them is no less a weakness than to abandon your course of action and capitulate in panic. Both amount equally to desertion of duty – either being frightened into retreat, or setting yourself at odds with your natural kinsmen and friends.'
